Good shop in the Philadelphia area

Hi,
About to purchase my first Rolex (gmt II-c) and was hoping someone could point me towards a good store in the Philly area to get it sized/authenticated. Any pointers would be appreciated.

I know Bernie Robbins in Wayne has an in house tech, not sure if they'll authenticate etc if you didn't buy from them though worth a phone call though.

I believe that Jay Roberts in Marlton, NJ (20 miles from Philly) will appraise/authenticate for a fee and can size for you.

Bernie Robbins in Marlton would not authenticate any Rolex not purchased from them. I offered to pay a fee for their time and expertise, but I was still turned down. I understand their stance on the issue, and can't really blame them.

Either one of the Govberg locations should be able to help out.

Another vote for A.R. Morris (Greenville location). John's a great guy to deal with. I've purchased numerous pieces from him.
